LncRNA-Gm9866 regulates the expression of extracellular matrix genes in HSCs. A mRNA levels of α-SMA, COL-1, and MMP9 in lncRNA-Gm9866-overexpressing JS-1 cells by qPCR. B JS-1 cells were infected with lentivirus-control or lentivirus-mediated shRNA-Gm9866 for 72 h and further treated with 10 ng/mL TGFβ1 for an additional 24 h. Expression of lncRNA-Gm9866, α-SMA, COL-1, and MMP9 was detected by qPCR. */#P < 0.05, **/##P < 0.01. *P < 0.05 vs. shRNA-control, *P < 0.05 vs. LV-control in A and #P < 0.05 vs. shRNA-control + TGFβ1 in B
